Plant roots associate with diverse microbes (including bacteria, fungi, archaea, protists, and
viruses) collectively called the root-associated microbiome. Among them, mycorrhizal fungi …

The association between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) affects plant
performance and ecosystem functioning. Recent studies have identified AMF-associated …

Fungi form a major and diverse component of most ecosystems on Earth. They are both
micro and macroorganisms with high and varying functional diversity as well as great …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are prominent root symbionts that can carry thousands
of nuclei deriving from two parental strains in a large syncytium. These co-existing genomes …

In flowering plants, strigolactones (SLs) have dual functions as hormones that regulate
growth and development, and as rhizosphere signaling molecules that induce symbiosis …

Plants produce and accumulate triacylglycerol (TAG) in their seeds as an energy reservoir to
support the processes of seed germination and seedling development. Plant seed oils are …

The liverwort Marchantia polymorpha has been utilized as a model for biological studies
since the 18th century. In the past few decades, there has been a Renaissance in its …

Most terrestrial plants establish a symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), which
provide them with lipids and sugars in exchange for phosphorus and nitrogen. Nutrient …

Zygnematophyceae are the algal sisters of land plants. Here we sequenced four genomes of
filamentous Zygnematophyceae, including chromosome-scale assemblies for three strains …

Symbiotic interactions such as the nitrogen-fixing root nodule symbiosis (RNS) have
structured ecosystems during the evolution of life. Here we aimed at reconstructing ancestral …
